Sounds like your USB-to-serial converter is bad, or the device driver is bad or old. I'd recommend a real serial port PC Card or Express Card for your Notebook for 100% compatibility. There are a lot of very bad USB-to-Serial converters on the market.<br>
<br>Or maybe you can assign it to COM5 and start over; perhaps COM4 is already being used by something else.<br><br>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 6:52 PM, Jorge Diez - CX6VM <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cx6vm.jorge@adinet.com.uy">cx6vm.jorge@adinet.com.uy</a>></span> wrote:<br>

For a single computer environment, if your "Wintest Communication Network
Properties" window doesn't look EXACTLY like the one shown in the Wiki,
it's not going to work.<br>
<br>
You also have to add a rotator for every appropriate band as shown in the Wiki.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, if you are trying to <i>share</i> a rotator between all
three computers in a local network (as in a multi-op) you <i>cannot</i> use the
loopback address because packets destined for that address never leave the PC
(they don't go out over the network). So instead, you should be
using the default broadcast address as described </span><a href="http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Rotators#Configuring_wtRotators_.28multi-op_environment.29" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US">here</span></a><span lang="EN-US">, on every machine (in Win-Test,
wtDxTelnet, and wtRotators).<br>
